In addition to the Say's Phoebe and Western Tanager already posted on
mou-net, the Minn Birding Weekends group found a few additional birds
of note this past weekend, May 1-2-3, included on our list of 135
species:
- Gr White-fronted (4), Ross's (2), and Cackling geese (3): May 1,
Butterfield sewage ponds, Watonwan Co; quite surprising to find these
late-lingerers, considering they were among a flock of only 50-60
geese (mostly Snows); a few other late white-fronteds also found at 2
Cottonwood Co locations.
- 16 shorebird species: including Willets (all 3 counties), Upland
Sandpiper, and both dowitchers (most probably Long-billeds).
- Eur Collared-Dove: May 3, Windom, Cottonwood Co (pair along 6th St,
a few blocks E of Hwy 60/71).
- Eastern Meadowlark: singing at 2 Watonwan Co locations (4 mi W of
Madelia, 0.2 and 1.0 mi S of CR 3), and in Cottonwood Co (Wolf Lake
WMA, 1.4 mi E of Windom); unusual in SW Minn.
